Context
- Every organisation needs to plan, carry out internal and external management system audits or other types of audits to check practices and improve. However, auditing cannot be improvised, and beyond simply checking compliance, the audit must add real value to the organisation.
- The audit manager, auditors and audit teams must follow good practice in preparing, auditing, reporting and formalising an audit report.
- Clients or management systems require that audits be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of ISO19011:2018.
- It is also necessary to assess the competence of the people involved in the audit process.
